Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son is a fan of mystery novels, there are plenty of thoughtful and meaningful gift options that can cater to his interest. Here are a few ideas to consider.

1. A Classic Mystery Novel: Consider getting him a classic mystery novel that he may not have read yet. Books like "And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie or "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" by Arthur Conan Doyle are timeless classics that any mystery enthusiast would enjoy. You can even look for special editions or collector's items to make the gift even more unique.

2. Mystery Puzzle Game: Give your son the opportunity to put his detective skills to the test with a mystery puzzle game. There are various options available, such as escape room kits, board games like "Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective," or mystery-solving video games like "Danganronpa" or "Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney." These interactive games allow him to solve puzzles and immerse himself in intriguing mystery scenarios.

3. Mystery Book Subscription: Consider subscribing your son to a mystery book subscription service, such as "Once Upon a Book Club" or "Mystery Book Box." These subscriptions deliver a carefully selected mystery book, along with related items and clues, straight to his doorstep every month. It's a great way to keep his passion for mystery novels alive and introduce him to new authors and titles.

4. Crime Scene Investigation Kit: For a more immersive experience, gift your son a crime scene investigation kit. These kits usually contain various forensic tools, an instructional guide, and simulated crime scene scenarios for him to solve. Not only will it indulge his love for mysteries, but it can also develop his problem-solving skills and critical thinking abilities.

5. Writing Materials: If your son has an interest in writing, consider purchasing high-quality writing materials and a notebook specifically for his mystery-related adventures. A leather-bound journal or a set of beautiful pens can inspire him to jot down his ideas, create his own mystery plots, or even start writing his own detective novels.

6. Mystery Novel Merchandise: Many mystery novels have dedicated fan bases, and you can find merchandise related to popular series or authors. Look for merchandise like book-related apparel, mugs, bookmarks, or even a poster of his favorite mystery author. These items not only show support for his favorite authors but also make great conversation starters.

Remember, the key to a thoughtful gift is to acknowledge and cultivate his existing interest in mystery novels. By selecting a gift that aligns with his passion, you'll not only show that you pay attention to his likes and dislikes but also provide him with a meaningful and personal gift that he can enjoy for years to come.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
